Psychology behind meal prepping

 

          Meal prepping is important if you care about the future of your health. If you do not care about the future of your health, do not continue to read. If all you care about is your current hungry cravings in the moment, do not continue to read. I say don’t continue to read because I don’t want to waste more of your time that you are currently wasting by not investing in your future health every present moment.

 

          Meal prepping help people acquire the best physiques of their life. To acquire an amazing physique requires willpower and endurance to accomplish a long term goal.

 

          Meal prepping is the opposite of impulsive snacking. Because meal prepping is all about planning, you are preparing yourself to be happy with a future physique.

 

          Many people underestimate how meal prepping affects the short term in a future moment. If you are hungry in the short term (right now), knowing that you’ve meal prepped for this moment makes you feel better about yourself. You feel better about yourself because you feel in control. You feel in control because you predicted your short term desires in the past when it currently was a long term anticipation. As a result, meal prepping increases emotional control.

 

          People that have a problem with impulsive snacking on junk food have a problem with emotional control. A problem with emotional control is typically due to lack of past mental control. Mental control involves planning for future moments. Most people don’t feel like planning for future moments because the benefits are in the long term and not in the present moment. Inability to see the value of planning is harmful to your health, especially if you don’t meal prep.

 

          The only moments people should enjoy eating are the current moments in which they had meal prepped. So if you are currently eating something you didn’t plan to eat, you shouldn’t be enjoying it.

 

          Why don’t most people meal prep? Most people don’t meal prep because they are addicted to short term value. Most people want to feel good and pursue pleasurable food at the expense of not living to enjoy pleasurable food in the long term. There is value in planning, and people that meal prep knows this.

 

          When should people stop meal prepping? People should stop meal prepping when they are old or have few years left. Nobody know their future so this is impossible to estimate, but people should aim to start indulging more in the present moment only when they are old or celebrating a rare occasion.

 

          In conclusion, most people eat whenever they feel like eating. As a result, they may gain weight that they don’t feel like gaining. And they will have a body they don’t feel like having. The reason why most people’s health is horrible in the present moment is due to fact that few people plan for the future moment. And meal prepping is planning for those future moments.
